Introducing CBFS Shell 2024

We are pleased to announce the release of CBFS Shell 2024, a new suite of developer tools with three powerful components to build custom shell folders and operations in minutes.

Shell Folder

The Shell Folder component enables developers to quickly create virtual folders from any data source as if they are on the local filesystem. Easily show virtual data in Windows File Explorer and build powerful, custom capabilities into your application:

  • Provide virtual access to cloud data on local file systems
  • Create user-friendly table views of unstructured, NoSQL data
  • Drag & drop files between virtual and local storage locations
  • Show detailed contents of folder and file metadata
  • Customize file icons
  • And so much more

Shell Menu

Shell Menu enables you to easily customize Windows Shell menus by adding custom actions & capabilities. Shell Menu delivers a far superior experience to the native Windows API for Shell extensions handlers. Quickly add support for customized shell menus to your application:

  • Compress files
  • Create zip files
  • Convert files between formats
  • Unpack & repackage files
  • And more

Shell Notify

With Shell Notify, you can easily create security alerts to notify you when changes to specific files and folders occur.

  • Track all events and changes on a file
  • Get a historical log of changes
  • Bring more security to virtual folders

Getting Started is Easy

Creating and customizing shell folders using Windows APIs has historically required highly specialized development work that takes countless hours working exclusively in C++. Developers would have to decipher incomplete documentation and the complexity of interdependent libraries, which would often require downloading multiple, disparate packages. At Callback Technologies, we simplify development so developers can get started in minutes.

Code in a Language You Know

CBFS Shell is available in a variety of popular and easy-to-understand developer languages including:

  • C++
  • .NET
  • Rust
  • Python
  • Go
  • Delphi

Full Documentation & Support

Callback provides the only fully documented and supported component library for creating virtual shell folders and customizing shell menu options. View our documentation.

Components, Not Complexity

Many modern developer libraries require you to understand a complex web of interdependencies and download disparate packages just to complete basic tasks. We offer the robust functionality of professional libraries with the convenience of standalone components. Each component in Shell provides a discrete set of capabilities you can set up in minutes without having to navigate interdependencies from a broader library or download other packages.
